  • TAKING DOWN OUR TENT: Reading Corner Designs & Packing Tubs

    Funded May 2, 2024

    Hello!!

    How's the weekend?

    Your donations of Fri-YAY snacks and treats, rugs, pillows, doormats, wreaths, and storage bins have transformed our classroom into a warm, inviting space that enhances student well-being and engagement.

    The treats create an incentive to behave, remain great citizens, and celebrate our achievements--making Fridays a highlight of the week! Cozy rugs and pillows provide a comfortable "calming corner" that encourages peace, reading, and collaboration--urging students to decompress and self-reflect. Doormats and wreaths add a welcoming touch to our classroom door, while the storage bins help keep our environment organized.

    Together, these elements foster a positive atmosphere that promotes learning, collaboration, and belonging.

    Thanks again for everything! XO”

Hola! I am Miss Richardson and I am Third Grade teacher and Kindergarten Science curriculum writer in Richmond, Virginia. I teach in a small-ish school located in a cozy corner of the Northside of Richmond. Yes, we are a Title I school, and yes, some of my kids are not as fortunate as others. However, they are sweet and precocious, and I love being their "school mom" (THEIR words, LOL)! DonorsChoose allows me to give my kids world-class experiences despite whatever is happening at home. I have been teaching for 17 years. Along with Third, I have taught Kindergarten, First, and Second grades. I thank you for choosing my classroom to finance!
